Saints Refurbish Trinity Community Center Playground With The 18th Ward

The project doubled as off-season team-building to improve play and learning space for children in Hollygrove.

Overview

  • New Orleans Saints players and coaches worked with The 18th Ward to refurbish the playground and garden at Trinity Community Center in Hollygrove.
  • Volunteers planted several trees and shrubs, spread fresh dirt and mulch around the play area, and mulched grounds to refresh outdoor spaces.
  • Head coach Kellen Moore said the event gave the team a chance to connect outside football and described it as a valuable team-building opportunity.
  • This marks the second consecutive year the Saints have helped the center, following an interior paint project last year and a separate repaving effort led by former Saint Demario Davis.
  • Trinity serves as a local hub that provides after-school snacks, homework help, safe play and meals for families, and the improvements aim to make those services safer and more inviting for children.
